 Russian forces to stay in Mali to fight terrorism: Kremlin The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russian forces would stay in Mali to help the country's government battle terrorists following an offensive over the weekend by Tuareg-led separatists and terrorists. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the statement after being asked by a reporter how Russia responded to a purported statement from the terrorists saying they wanted Russia to leave Mali. "Russia's presence there is, in fact, due to the need identified by the current government. Russia will continue, including in Mali, to combat extremism, terrorism and other harmful phenomena and will continue to provide assistance to the current government," said Peskov, AFP reported.

Paris Hilton backs House push for deepfakes legislation

Supporters of a bill aimed at combating nonconsensual AI-generated sexual imagery called on the House to advance the legislation on Thursday, highlighting the growing threat of deepfake content and the need for legal recourse for victims. The Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits (DEFIANCE) Act, which has already passed the Senate, would give individuals the right to sue over the production, possession, or distribution of nonconsensual explicit deepfake images when there is intent to disclose them.

At a press event, Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Laurel Lee (R-Fla.) were joined by Paris Hilton and other co-sponsors to urge House leadership to move the bill forward. Ocasio-Cortez stressed the need for civil remedies beyond existing criminal laws, such as the Take It Down Act, which made the publication of nonconsensual intimate imagery a federal crime. Lee said the bill addresses potential First Amendment concerns, preserves Section 230 protections for tech companies, and includes privacy measures for victims, such as pseudonym use and redaction of personal details. Hilton, who has faced widespread nonconsensual AI-generated imagery of herself, said her support is rooted in personal experience and a desire to protect her young daughter from similar harms. The event also featured 17-year-old Francesca Mani, a victim of AI-generated deepfakes at age 14, who highlighted the importance of the bill’s provision for financial damages. A recent study by the Center for Countering Digital Hate estimated that AI-generated sexualized images, including thousands of images involving children, have proliferated online, underscoring the urgency of legislative action.
